OK, you are right! I'm sorry.
I use HP-Unix as OS and the command submitted is tar -cvf directory_name.tar directory_name.

Hi jayan_jay, I already tryed to use this sintax, but the results is unchanged. Now I'm trying to use short directory name, because I think files path may be to be too long.

Another aspect of problem is that the syntax you suggest works if command is submitted by hand but doesn't work if submitted by command file.

Thanks
